Slide1

What's the problem Louis Braille?

Hadley institute

Slide2

Slide3

Louis Braille wanted more books to read

Louis Braille was born in

Coupvray

, France, on January 4, 1809.

A

ttended the National Institute for Blind Youth in Paris, France.

Books for students who were blind were created using raised print.

Took a long time to create

Hard to read

Louis yearned for more books to read.

Slide4

How Did He Get More Books?

He experimented with ways to create an alphabet that was easy to read with the fingertips.

A special night

code invented by Charles

Barbier

may work.

Slide5

Possible Solution

In 1821, Charles

Barbier

presented a code at

Louis Braille's school.

Barbier

was an artillery captain in the French Army who had devised a system for soldiers to communicate at night without a sound.

His system combined 12 dots to represent sounds, called sonography. It is also referred to as "night writing."

He believed his invention could be of great value to the blind.

Slide6

Reinvent

Louis Id

entified one of the chief flaws of

Barbier's

system.

Louis determined to take

Barbier's

system and improve upon it.

Between the ages of 13 and 16 Louis worked on perfecting an embossed dot system.

Like

Barbier's

, Louis' system used raised dots, but beyond that similarity Louis' ideas were his own.

A

t age 15 he felt he had an adequate code.

Slide7

What is braille?

Slide8

The Braille Cell

Letters are formed using a combination of six dots.

When all six dots are used, it is called a full braille cell

How Can I Learn Braille?

Hadley Institute for the Blind and Visually Impaired wants to help people learn braille.

Hadley has been teaching people to read braille for 100 years.

Braille lessons are mailed to students all over the world

.

How can Hadley innovate and teach braille using the computer?

Slide11

Identified Needs

1. Teach visual braille to professionals in schools using the computer.

2. Not many people in schools know how to read braille.

3. The US needs more braille teachers.

4. Students need help reading and writing braille.

5. Parents want to learn braille to help their children.

Slide12

Understand What People Want

1. Learn braille in a simple, convenient manner.

2. Learn braille at home, school or while traveling.

3. Make it fun!

4. Learn small amounts of information at a time.

5. Be able to practice what I learned.

6. Be able to check my understanding.

Slide13

Brainstorm Ideas

1. Can we make it like a person is sitting beside of us learning?

2. Can we make it like a game?

3. Can we use animations to help someone learn braille?

4. How can the student use the computer to interact with the braille cell?

And so many more ideas!

Slide14

Design

Draw your design out first.

Put notes to share with your team.

Be ready to change.

Slide15

Design Using a Storyboard

Slide16

Build Your Design Layout

Notes:

What about this one?

Slide17

Test Your Prototype

Ask your testers questions:

1. Do you like it?

2. Did you learn something?3. What do you like most?4. What would make it better?

5. How did it make you feel while going through the prototype?

Slide18

Communicate Your Findings and Refine Your Invention

Slide19

Did Hadley Meet the 7 Steps of Invention?

Slide20

Visit Hadley.edu to check out our braille workshop.

1. Go to Hadley.edu

2. Click the "Get Started Button"

3. Chose your contrast if you like.

4. Chose the print size you like if you want.

5. What do you want to learn today?

6. Click on the Braille box.

7. Click Basic Braille by sight reading series.

8. After viewing the sample you can create a free account to

learn braille.

Slide21

Inventions In Braille

Braille can be read in many ways now.

Special braille computers have braille dots that pop up and down to produce letters, words or numbers.

Give quick access to print materials for someone who reads braille.
